"On September 1, 2018, at approximately 11:36 p.m., the Phillips County Dispatch received a report that there had been a car parked in the caller’s driveway since early morning on the August 31. The caller stated witnesses saw the suspected driver exit the car and start running south-east of Hwy 191 South in the Colburn Butte area.

A deputy was dispatched to the area and found the car, but no sign of the driver or occupants. A check on the vehicle license plates found the vehicle associated with a Shaun Kim Nelson, age 41, described as 6’1”, 190-pounds, who was subject of an Attempt to Locate out of Valley County. Nelson, who is a resident of Boise, Idaho, was in Wolf Point visiting a family member and borrowed their car. The Phillips County Deputy drove roads in the area, but because of darkness could not thoroughly search."

what they don't mention, is that the car was abandoned about 2 miles into the Fort Belknap reservation. (Eye witnesses there say he was being pursued. BIA roadcrew also noted some very disturbing activities in connection with this. )The reservation folk had to move it down the road, off the reservation and the law enforcement came and had it towed at about 3am,Sept.2 without notifying tbe registered owner, knowing full well that it was part of a missing person case.The vehicle was not secured. A Good Woman made a facebook post about the car, and that is how Shaun's family member got his car back.

Look at his LinkedIn profile. This is a highly educated and experienced professional who was preparing to launch a new business venture that would be a game changer in the business and financial industries with international applications. In the course of the the preliminary ground work he did a lot of research and networking. He discovered some things he did not set out to find. He was in fear for his life . And has been portrayed as mentally ill in the news as an explanation for that fear. I believe him.

That is scary! Do they have any idea who was pursuing him or why? Is anyone searching for him on the reservation or do they not believe he is still there? The area appears to be unpopulated and quite a massive forested area. I wish there was more public information concerning Shaun and what may have happened. Praying for his safe return!

What do you mean?

He was not given to acknowledging any credibility to "conspiracy theories " the idea of such things was not in his realm of consideration. He did photography as a creative outlet with friends. But his business talents and experience lay in financial, tech, and business applications. He had, for the last year and a half been structuring the ground work for a massive new business. As he did so, he apparently became increasingly more concerned about his personal safety. He had stated "it's not just about the money anymore " and expressed concern to several people close to him over the last few months, that he may be in some sort of trouble, and security was an issue. He was well aware of the capabilities to track someone via chips in credit cards, real id drivers license, cellphone location. He discarded wallet 2 days before he disappeared. Cellphone was on airplane mode and abandoned in Glasgow Mt 9:30 pm 8-30-2018. The car he borrowed was abandoned 10 hours later outside of Malta Mt (their jurisdiction ) closer to Zortman from what i understand, more than 90 miles away approximately 7:30 am aug 31. Also of note is massive satellite issues affecting cellphone coverage those 2 days.

Thankyou for prayers...... It is very important to his whole family as well, and i will tell them that i posted here, and people care. It has been a very difficult 3 weeks. Search dogs scented with clothing from a bag he also abandoned in Glasgow, could not pick up a trail from where they were taken- dogs don't lie, and searchers found no tracks or signs in the areas they were directed to. Lots of rattle snakes.In runoff area's ground was dry to a depth of 6 inches.

There was a lost hunter being searched for in the same area at the same time.Reported Sept 1, 8:50 pm. Closed as a Coroner case sept 3, 2:36 pm. Phillips county sheriff office puts a log in the Malta newspaper. Haven't found any details about cause of that death. the search for Shaun Nelson was ended the evening of Sept. 6 .Noted was the possibility he may have hitched a ride at some point and just was no longer in the area. The area around Zortman was a heavy gold mining area,back to the mid 1800s, potentially a lot of old mine shafts , with 3297 nearby mines. Per a publication called "the diggings".It has now been 4 weeks. No leads, no new information. No idea what to do next. Friends of family friends have been enquiring of people who live in the area, in hope of any additional information. Missing person flyers sent to hospitals in surrounding area .Quite a lot of phone calls to medical facilities garnered citation of HIPA privacy rules.

On the 21st of October 2018 the Phillips County Dispatch received a call from a hunter in south Phillips County stating that he had found a deceased male. Undersheriff Burt Peigneux responded to the Nichols Coulee area on the CMR Refuge to investigate.

The decedent is believed to be Shaun Kim Nelson of Washington State who went missing from his vehicle on the 31st of August near Highway 191 and Beaver Creek Road south of Malta. The body was removed from the area and taken to Kirkwood Funeral Home and has been transported from there to Billings for an autopsy to determine the cause of death and positive identification.

The search for Nelson was suspended on the 6th of September after approximately 200 square miles were searched by aircraft, specialized K9 units, and personnel to include local, state, federal law enforcement, and citizen volunteers.

Thankyou for spotting that.
The water there is horribly contaminated from mine activities and also a blue algea problem this year. (it kills livestock )He was still a couple miles yet from the Missouri river.

He was found laying in tall grass, with his head cradled on his arm.
Intact, no obvious trauma. No animal damage,so the smell of illness possibly?

This is approx. 17 to 20 miles as the crow flies from where the car was left. The air search was a grid. 15x15 is 225 miles, 71/2 any direction from center.
 
Maybe someone can offer an insight:

Assumption of possitive identification, presumably based on photgraphs

DNA from both biological parents already on file.

Dental records are kept in digital format or hard copy xrays, and easily compared.

What would be the purpose in defanging a cadaver for record keeping purposes?
 
Is it unreasonable to assume that the state medical examiner would do xray or ct scan as part of autopsy?

Pulling teeth makes absolutely no sense to me in a situation of an intact, supposedly recognizable cadaver with presumed positive identification and easily accessible dna matching.
